NCT05657249

Brief Summary

In a high-risk group, ultrasonography at 6-month intervals and short-protocol magnetic resonance imaging at 1-year intervals were performed. sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values for very early stage HCC are compared between conventional (biannual US) and alternative surveillance test are compared

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Comparison of alternative surveillance program (alternating focused MRI + US in 6 month interval) and conventional surveillance (biannual US) for HCC detection

    per-patient sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value for very early stage HCC, early stage HCC, all stage of HCC/liver cancer.

    up to one year

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Comparison of annual focused MRI and biannual US for HCC detection

    up to one year

  • diagnostic yield for HCC

    up to one year

  • scan time of focused MRI

    up to one month

  • comparison between false referral rates of biannual US and annual focused MRI

    up to one year

Other Outcomes (1)

  • comparison between incidental findings between biannual US and annual focused MRI

    up to one year

Study Arms (1)

US & MRI

EXPERIMENTAL

All participants undergo biannual US (as a part of standard-of-care) and annual non-contrast focused MRI.

Diagnostic Test: Non-contrast focused MRI

Interventions

non-contrast liver MRI focusing on HCC surveillance in a short scan time.

Also known as: Focused MRI, Abbreviated MRI
US & MRI
